Prof. Aaron O'Connell: Making sense of a visible quantum object
(8 minute video)

 

 

COMMENT: I offer, that Prof. O'Connell's "Quantum Diving Board" enters a TRIPLE super-position state, in which it is, firstly, partially stationary ("still in the center"); secondly, partially oscillating up-and-down ("bouncing back-and-forth"); thirdly, partially oscillating down-and-up ("bouncing forth-and-back"). Classically, these are the three "modes" of oscillation available to the system -- none; in-phase; anti-phase.

 

Note, too, that the "Diving Board" remains connected, back at its base, to a completely Classical, meso-to-macro-scopic scale, structure (the "pool" part, with the excavated pit, which permits the oscillating flexations, of the "board"). And so I offer, further, that that connection-to-the-Classical, is what constrains the Quantum behavior of the "board", to be able to enter a "ghosted out" Quantum super-position state, only out towards its "tip".

 

In sum, Prof. O'Connell's "Quantum Diving Board" has three Classical "modes" of motion available, and, upon entering its Quantum "phantasmal super-position" state, it performs all three motions, simultaneously, thereby being "partially present", in three places, at one time.
